About Amina

Amina Simmons is a licensed psychologist with 13 years of professional experience, credentialed in Arizona (PSY-005882) and Utah (12727043-2501). These license numbers reflect state licensure to practice as a psychologist in each state. She brings experience supporting people through LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship challenges, trauma and racial stress, life transitions, and women’s wellness, and she also works with clients in a coaching capacity to address personal and professional goals.

Amina approaches each person as the expert on their own life and emphasizes the strengths clients already possess to navigate difficult situations. She acknowledges that seeking a more fulfilling life requires courage and curiosity, and she aims to provide steady support while empowering clients to explore change at a sustainable pace. Her practice is geared toward helping individuals build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and clarify values and direction when facing uncertainty or recovery from past harm.

Throughout her work, Amina draws on collaborative methods that center the client’s story and priorities, helping people move from feeling stuck toward clearer, more intentional living while honoring their identities and experiences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and goals; it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends specifically to symptoms and effects of traumatic experiences and racial stress by using targeted techniques to reduce distress and support recovery while honoring the client’s pace and safety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Amina works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time, combining elements from different approaches as appropriate to the client’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel to an office.
